Reposting this because someone helpfully told me that starting it with a Twitter handle makes it a reply only. Anyway: new paper below…

Ben Eidelson and I have posted our new paper on race-conscious admissions after SFFA: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…. Below is a series of tweets from Ben that provide an excellent description. We'd love to hear what you think.

Wow! Honored to get a 'Highly Recommended. Download it while it's hot!' from Lawrence Solum. Also honored to have my work mentioned here alongside Francisco Urbina's must-read article on legal interpretation.

How do we live in a world where the best native legal research app on Windows, Mac, or iOS is Ben Eidelson's Case Viewer? No shade at all to that truly excellent product, but that's one guy doing a side gig. This is a multibillion dollar market!

Reading Ben Eidelson's brilliant proposal on Bostock. Aside from its relevance to discrimination, it matters for causal modelers. The variable/value distinction tracks the determinable/determinate one, but I hadn't previously grasped the implications.

NMG does it again, pitting gov't v. individual liberty. If EPA requires all lead pipes to be replaced, and someone sues, which is the side of 'individual liberty' or 'fairness'? Is is possible it's the kid who is no longer at risk of developmental problems from drinking water?

I've been playing around with this app this morning -- pretty incredible tool for #lawtwitter . I wish I'd found it a year or two ago!

A student I didn't know stopped me outside daycare this morning to say they use & love Case Viewer. Somehow that never happens with my articles! If you're a law student/prof getting ready for the semester (and you use a Mac), check it out! Harvard Law School

Hey Philosophers of law, the Analytic Legal Philosophy Conference is at Harvard on May 17-18. Details and a link to register below. We'd love to see you!

slightly related plug for Ben Eidelson's utterly magical app caseviewer.app

Version 0.9 of Case Viewer is now available at caseviewer.app. Now with history, bookmarks, oral argument links, GPO pdfs of statutes, US Reports preprints, & more. Also, better performance and many bug fixes. Still 'pay what you want', so you might as well check it out!

Thanks for flagging this Dan! Also, I'm going to try shunting 'Case Viewer' content over to its own twitter handle, so follow Case Viewer if you want to be notified of updates or the like.

Law folk who are Mac users—if you're not using Ben Eidelson's Case Viewer, you should be. It's a simple, intuitive app that helps you find the text of judicial opinions incredibly quickly. I'm finding it a great addition to my workflow.

“We can’t function as a university if we’re answerable to random rich guys and the mobs they mobilize on Twitter,” Ben Eidelson said. nytimes.com/2023/12/12/bus…

Now out in final form at Harvard Law Review.
The biggest addition is an extended critique of Justice Barrett’s defense of the major questions doctrine as “common sense” (pp. 540-44). Thanks again to all who gave us feedback & to hard-working student editors!
